Rustic Oak Elementary School

Worst school I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with. The staff comes in when ever they feel like it having the parents and children wait on them and leave early, EXTREME ATTITUDE from the staff every one of them are white females whom look at you in disgust for waving hello? Had the front desk woman scold my 4 year old child because he didn’t know where his class was? Then scoffed and said “I guess I’ll have to take you” making my son feel very bad about himself. These people think they are so high and mighty and very pretentious when this is a regular neighborhood.. this isn’t Beverly Hills, get over yourself.another incident with my sons teacher being sarcastic and talking over me and my husband over a simply asking where my sons lunch box was? She looked annoyed and said “well you’re just going to have to wait until ALL the children go home for the day to get that back” ?? Weird response being there’s 5 other teachers and teachers helpers literally standing to the side doing absolutely the staff is low iq , no manners and takes no accountability. I can’t wait to put my child in a better school district Away from these weirdos

South Belt Elementary used to be one of the best schools in the district, especially under the leadership of the former principal before she retired. The school once had a warm, supportive environment where students were truly cared for.Unfortunately, things have changed significantly under the current principal. I personally witnessed an upsetting incident during the book fair where she spoke very rudely to a Deaf Education student in the library. It was unprofessional and showed a lack of compassion and understanding. Sadly, this does not appear to be an isolated incident — she seems to treat people with selective kindness and does not show genuine concern for all students.Another serious concern occurred in May, when the air conditioning went out. The entire school was hot and uncomfortable, with students reportedly feeling nauseous due to the heat. Despite the severity of the situation, parents were never informed. This lack of transparency and disregard for student health and safety is unacceptable.At this point, I cannot recommend South Belt Elementary to other families. I hope more people begin to see that this principal is not fit to lead, and that changes are made to bring the school back to the high standards it once had.

The older lady at the front desk is very rude. I was called several times throughout the year about my child being hit by other children. Not very comforting. I paid for a shirt from PTA and never received it. Called principal to inform said he would get back and never did. The teachers we experienced were very kind! Most everyone else was supportive and nice. Homework was not issued often so I did not have a way to see what my kids were working on. Wish I true identifiers to see where they stand and how to help them more. Very different from previous school.

If I would've known my son what I know now. I would've not enrolled my son at this school. He did not learn one thing and this is me not exaggerating. We withdrew him and placed him in public school and not only is he thriving and learning but he actually WANTS to go to school!! Save your money or go somewhere else!

My son absolutely loves this school his teachers peers and everyone here. I cried with joy and relief when my son said to me for the first time he loved his school and was excited to go back. He had such an incredibly hard time in public school and cried every time he had to go to public school so to see the joy this school brings him in a true blessing worth far more than the tuition. The education and love taught at this school is more valuable than gold.
